Research direction

Read the existing error-handling behavior and the documentation files named in the issue template: docs/quickstart.md, docs/guide.md, and docs/reference.md. Add tests covering the expected ReactFire error handling, then document how users should handle errors; the work is done when the tests pass and the guidance is clear.
